The new facial soaps by BINU contain essences of natural and over here not as noted ingredients. Bamboo leaf poweder, bamboo active charcoal and hinoki water in combination with premium native and essential oils cater for the cleansing of your skin without feeling of tension.

Of course there is a matching soap for every skin type. I tested the bamboo active charcoal and what can I say? I'm hooked. My skin tends to be oily when using too rich skin care. But this soap is perfect for my skin (I'm using it for 2 weeks now).

A add-on I appreciate a lot is the fact that the soaps are the perfect match for travelling with hand luggage. No more transferring liquid facial cleansers to small containers. Hell yeah!

Taking your laundry to the dry cleaners, waiting 1 week, picking up your laundry and paying a noticeable amount for the service. That's how it worked until now when it came to having your favorite pieces dry cleaned.

And then JONNY FRESHshowed up! The process now works like this: download the app or got to the website, name the pieces you want to have dry cleaned and fill in the pick-up/delivery address (Monday - Saturday, 2h window; pick-up and delivery address can be different). That's it! Your laundry will be picked up by very friendly empolyees and will be retourned after just 2 days. On time and perfectly clean (Jonny Fresh cooperates with local dry cleaners). This process couldn't be more convenient for me. And if as this isn't enough pick-up an delivery is free and prices for dry cleaning are way cheaper than they are at the dry cleaners I used to go until now.

The design! The color! But also the story behind the label! You have to know that Margaret and Hermione produce their swimwear in Europe only and the do this with recyled polyamide which they get from recycling old fishnets. How dope is this?!

Two of my favorite brands are HAY and COS - just perfect that you get all the furniture pieces and accessoires by HAY also at COS (e.g. in Vienna at the store in Neubaugasse 11 in 7th district).

Because it's like this: If I plant something in my mind I need to realise it immediately (yes, I'm impatient).

A few days ago I had the idea that a side table would look awesome next to my great gandmother's rocking chair. It was clear to me that it needs a puristically designed table next to the vintage piece. Within seconds I knew that it has to be the ''Tray Table' by HAY .

No 10 minutes later I found myself in the car on the way to COS where I not only got the table but also the tray 'Kaleido' , the glass carafe 'Dot' (with a golden bottom) as well as the matching glasses. All beautiful things which also look good in combination with each other. Don't you think?▼▼▼Zwei meiner absoluten Lieblings-Brands sind HAY und COS - wie schön, dass es die Möbel & Accessoires von HAY auch bei COS gibt (in Wien zum Beispiel im Store in der Neubaugasse 11 im 7. Bezirk).

Thanks to these miracles the conventional sleep becomes a real beauty rest.

I already rhapsodized about 'Dermatologist Solutions™ Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate' in a previous post but I will do it again here: Put this concentrate on your face before your night cream and let the magic happen while you are sleeping. It eliminates dead skin over night thanks to Quinoa Huck extract. It helps to accelerate surface skin cell turnover to reveal fresher, newly radiant skin, while visibly evening skin tone and refining the feel of rough texture over time.

The 'Midnight Recovery Concentrate' is a facial oil with herabal extracts to regenerate your skin over night. Your skin looks firm and smooth after a short use already. The impact is intense even if you just have to use 2 - 3 drops. What happens exactly is that the concentrate replicates skin's own lipids. The essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6 strengthen the structures of the skin barrier and help the skin to keep its necessary amount of maisture.

I'm looking for a fire bowl for my terrace for like forever! Every model I found didn't match my taste. Now everything looks different. The bowl by Eva Solo is exactly I was lookin for. I just love the clean design. And it is very functional too because of it's shape which builds a shield against the wind (which is an important thing on our terrace).

When it comes to sunscreen I only go for the products by Lancaster. My Morroco trip is just around the corner so I stocked up my sunscreen and aftersun products. Let me tell you why I love the products so much.

The thing is, that protection from UVA and UVB rays only isn't enough. There is also infrared radiation and visible light which are responsible for skin damages and (premature) skin ageing. Lancaster products protect from all those influences: with it's complete sunscreen range and the 'Compact Cream Powder', leaving a light, natural looking glow on your face.

Also for the care after sunbathing there are the right products. With or without cooling effect the 'Tan Maximaler' prolongs your tan up to one month because it soothes and nourishes the skin just perfectly. Be honest. A long-lasting tan? That is what we all want, don't we?If you aren't conviced fully by now just go and smell the products and I'm positiv they will move in with you immediately.

Bedlinen by BLANC. spotted at WESTWING. The sale on Westwing is going on for four more days.

Everyone who knows me - and you do by now - knows I fancy the colors black and white. If you add graphic designs you could call it a jackpot! No wonder I like the textiles - especially the bedlinen - by Blanc. a lot.

Saskia Derbes shows how pretty trivial objects of utility can be. Cloth- & shoebrushes which would normally end up in a drawer become - thanks to their design with the glass lid - objects which can be presented proudly.

I fancy Kristina Krogh's prints for about 2 years. Back then I showed you her awesome wall calendar on the blog (see post HERE). Even if my Apartment hasn't much blank walls anymore I'm sure I will find a good place for those beautiful prints.

Dining table 'Angesteckte Erika' von WOODBOOM spotted at SELEKKT.COM. Material: pine. Size: the size is up to you. Every table is customized. The tabletop is about 5cm thick and the extending parts are approximately 50 cm long.

My perfect kind of evening? Inviting friends, preparing a big meal and having a good time. What you need for that is a big dining table - of course. I have one but if I would refurnish my apartment this would be a condender for the dining table. For sure.
